Everything

Image
  Everything depends precisely on how whirling kisses stillness.     A friend who read this asked me, "How?" I said: "Whirl, then be still. Whirl, then be still. Practice this, moment after moment, day after day, decade after decade. Whirl, then be still. Until they are the same. Higher beings live in a world where there is only meditation. Lower beings live in a world where there is only action. We are the lucky ones. We live in a world of opposites, where Gods are born as humans to celebrate the marriage of doing and non-doing.
